This course will provide a comprehensive overview to help improve patient care. HOST: That's great. Can you share some current trends or challenges in diagnosing and treating Schizotypal Personality Disorder? GUEST: Certainly. One challenge is differentiating SPD from other disorders like schizophrenia, which requires a thorough understanding of the unique symptoms and clinical presentations. Another trend is the increasing focus on integrating psychotherapy and medication management for more effective treatment approaches.
